City Council to hear Ravenswood Avenue railroad crossing alternatives

Posted on May 14, 2018 at 2:02 pm by Clay Curtin

The final alternatives of the Ravenswood Avenue railroad crossing study will be presented to the City Council at their regular meeting on Tuesday, May 8, 2018, at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chambers for their selection of a preferred alternative. The project team will present the proposed alternatives and input received to date. Please join us to hear about this important project and to provide your feedback to help the City Council select the preferred alternative. Visit menlopark.org/agenda to view the agenda and staff reports.

This project is evaluating the engineering feasibility of replacing the existing at-grade crossings of the Caltrain tracks by building grade separations of the roadways from the tracks at Ravenswood Avenue, Oak Grove Avenue and Glenwood Avenue, with priority on Ravenswood Avenue. This City Council meeting is a significant milestone for this project as it will determine the preferred alternative that will move forward into the environmental study and final design phase that will allow the City to construct a grade separation project to best address the community’s concerns and needs. Please visit the Ravenswood Avenue railroad crossing project page for background and information from previous public meetings.
